Gibbosporina leptospora is a species of foliose lichen in the family Pannariaceae. It was described as a new species in 2016 by Norwegian lichenologist Arve Elvebakk. The specific epithet leptospora, which combines the Greek lepto ("thin") with spore, refers to the thin perispore (outer spore covering).[1] The lichen occurs in northeast Australia, Papua New Guinea, Fiji, and New Caledonia.[2]
